Name: Luke Johnson

Bio: I've been reading comics for about 10 years, probably, but unfortunately not on a regular basis. Living in where I do in England means its a bit of a trek to my LCS, and being a student means I cant always buy everything that i want. Luckily, the library system in my area has hundreds of OGNs and trades, so i can keep relatively up to date. I read as much as i can, and thankfully i read quickly, so thats usually quite a lot.

I'm on the last weeks of both...

its good, but in the "Oh God it hurts!" kind of way 

June 18, 2010 1:56 pm Another point relating to the craziness of including ALL continuity is Superman and his ever increasing array of powers. HE HAD THE POWER OF SUPER-KISSES! He used it to impress Lois at a Christmas party

Spider-Man trips on the ledge, but manages to turn a clumsy stumble into a balletic dive into the air. Twisting, he fires a web to the building now overhead, just as he feels something wrap around his ankle.

"Not another clothesline" He hopes, his swing upwards impeded. He looks down... well, more across, his body now horizontal in the air; held up by webbing on one end and another one of those strange bat-boomerangs, this time attached to a rope, on the other. Spider-Man glances skyward, and sees the strange costumed silhouette holdong the other end of the rope, keeping him suspended in mid-air.

"Well this is a fine mess you've got us into" says Spidey "You want me to hang around or something? All you had to do was ask"

"Just let go" he hears the smaller shadow say "He's already annoying me"

"Hey buddy, I got an idea: if you stop being a brat, I'll stop being annoying" Spider-Man pulls sharply down with his caught leg, twisting his body to the side, and snaps the taught cable.

On the roof, the Dynamic Duo are momentarily speechless; their cable is made to withstand extremely large forces, and this mysterious person just snapped one with his leg? And then disappeared from view as well 

"Almost as good as Bruce's exits" Batman mutters.

"What was that Drake? It had better be an apology for letting him get aw-urk!"

Damian's remark was cut short by a red and blue arm pulling him to the edge of the roof, where a blast of webbing covered his mouth.

"Honestly, hasn't anyone ever told him 'if you can't say something nice, your mouth will be full of shear-thinning fluid'?"  Still holding Damian, Spider-Man had sprung from under the lip of the roof to stand in-front of Batman. "So who are you and what's with the hostility? Most people save that until they get to know me a little better"

Batman had fallen back into a defensive crouch at the sudden re-appearance of the blue and red stranger, and another two batarangs had appeared in his hands. He flung one, which the stranger caught, but it was only a distraction so he wasn't too bothered. 

"So you like bats, I'm guessing? I'm more of an arachnid fan myself, but each to his own"

As Spider-man was nattering away Batman pulled his Shock-Gauntlets from this belt (the ones that were used to break into The League Of Shadows in B&R12, I think) and slipped them over his knuckles. 

Damian, meanwhile was angry. He had been gagged with some foul tasting stuff, and now he was being held captive? By this? At best, failed stand-up comedian had his hands held tightly behind his back, but that was no trouble. He pivoted quickly on his feet, and jumped, flicking his feet towards the jaw of his captor as he pulled his hands down, hoping to make the blow really sting.

CRACK, the sound of two booted feet connecting with a Spider-Skull was somethign Ol' Web Head was used to. This kid had nothing on The Rhino for instance.

"Not that wasn't very nice" he said rubbing his jaw "I was trying to ta-" 

SMACK SMACK 

His hands now free, Damian had delivered two sharp blows to his opponents ribs. It was like hitting a wall.

Out fo the corner of his eye, Spider-Man saw the taller, less garish one make a move towards him, with something faintly glowing in each hand. He allowed Batman to get close, but then flipped over him, and sprayed them both with web fluid.

"Time Out! Who the hell are you guys? And why all the punching?"

" What is this stuff?" Dick asked, trying to keep his voice calm and still intimidating. Neither he nor Damian could find any give in the sticky goo binding them.

"It's my web fluid, it'll dissolve in an hour or two. Now where am I, who are you and why in God's name is he dressed like a colour-blind canary?"

Why not alphabetize by year? It may mean a drastic re-organisation of your existing comics, but once that is done you can keep one or two 2010 boxes at the front/top of your pile and just place the comics in when your done. Then next year just start it again.
